The SISI UK 4-Inch Flat Door Bolt is an ideal security solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to reinforce internal doors, such as airing cupboards, cellar doors, and attic hatches. Constructed from premium stainless steel, this heavy-duty latch offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term durability for high-traffic or damp areas. While the surface-mounted design ensures a straightforward installation process, users should note that it is intended strictly for internal light-to-medium duty applications rather than heavy exterior security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a screwdriver and a pencil for marking. To set it up, place the bolt on your desired door surface, mark the screw holes, and attach it using the provided screws. Ensure the bolt aligns perfectly with the strike plate before tightening fully. Regarding compatibility, this bolt is designed for flat surfaces; it will not work on recessed or ornate doors without proper leveling. To maintain the finish, wipe the bolt periodically with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these may scratch the silver finish.
